TERRA COTTA WARRIORS:  GUARDIANS OF CHINA’S FIRST EMPEROR
National Geographic Museum, Washington, D.C.
Thursday, March 18, 2010

Soldiers, Charioteers, Archers, Musicians, Generals, Acrobats. 
Nearly 2,000 years ago, thousands of life-size clay figures were buried in massive underground pits to accompany China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuangdi, into the afterlife.  Their discovery outside the city of Xian in 1974 is one of the greatest archaeological finds of the 20th century.

Now, you can stand face-to-face with these terra cotta warriors at the National Geographic Museum in an exhibition featuring treasures from the tomb complex 
including 15 life-size figures, weapons, armor, coins and more.  Don’t miss this chance to see the largest collection of significant artifacts from China ever to 
travel to the United States.

Lunch will be at Tony and Joe’s Seafood Place on the Georgetown waterfront 
with views of the Potomac River. After lunch, we will visit the Smithsonian’s
Freer and Sackler Galleries to learn more about Chinese culture and art.
